WATCH: House Dem makes bizarre claim while dodging question on VP Harris' 'border czar' record
FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Val Hoyle, D-Ore., declined to answer a reporter’s question about the job Vice President Kamala Harris has done as “border czar,” instead claiming she was never the border czar and blaming former President Trump for the current state of the border.
“I think Donald Trump stopped us from having good border policy,” Hoyle said on Thursday when asked if VP Harris did a “good job” as border czar.
“I’m asking about Kamala Harris, the vice president,” Hoyle was asked again.
“I’m talking about Donald Trump stopping us from having a border policy,” Hoyle said. “Why did Donald Trump stop that?’
HOUSE DEM FROM BORDER DISTRICT DODGES QUESTIONS ON HARRIS’ IMMIGRATION RECORD: ‘WAS SHE A BORDER CZAR?’
Rep. Val Hoyle declined to answer whether VP Harris has a strong record on the border.
“Kamala Harris was a good border czar?” Hoyle was then asked.
“She was not a border czar,” Hoyle said. “Donald Trump stopped legislation from going…”

Hoyle joined a growing list of House Democrats running for re-election in November who either declined to answer questions on Harris’ record on the border or joined the growing narrative that Harris was not actually the border czar, despite a variety of outlets referring to her with that title for several years.
Harris was tapped by Biden in 2021 to help tackle the border issue, which Democrats, along with the White House, are distancing themselves from since Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president.
“Val Hoyle’s deranged attempt to rewrite history proves she’s beholden to Border Czar Kamala Harris, but afraid of Oregonians holding her accountable for the border crisis,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Ben Petersen told Fox News Digital.

“Hoyle’s delusional views endanger Oregon families with surging crime and fentanyl trafficking.”
Hoyle is running for re-election in Oregon’s 4th Congressional District, where she won by 7.5 points in 2022. The Cook Political report ranks her race as “likely Democrat.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Hoyle’s office for comment but did not receive a response.

Man suffers life-threatening injuries in overnight shooting in SF Mission District
A 44-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries in a shooting early Tuesday morning in San Francisco’s Mission District, according to police.
The shooting was reported at 4:18 a.m. in the area of 16th and Capp streets, San Francisco police said.
The victim was taken to a hospital and an update on his condition was not immediately available later Tuesday morning.
Police have not made an arrest or released any suspect details in connection with the shooting. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the SFPD tip line at (415) 575-4444 or to send a tip by text message to TIP411 with SFPD at the start of the message.
A Denver man was arrested Tuesday and charged with killing his wife and infant daughter on Monday morning.
Nicholas Myklebust called 911 Monday morning and told police he found his wife bleeding on the ground and their daughter not breathing. Police and fire rescue arrived at the apartment in the 3200 block of North Syracuse Street and the baby was pronounced dead at the scene. Myklebust’s wife was taken to the hospital where she later died.
Investigators have not publicly identified either victim.
Myklebust, 44, was interviewed by police, who noticed blood and bruising on Myklebust’s knuckles and scratches on his neck.
The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner will determine and announce the cause and manner of death for the victims, as well as their identities.
Myklebust faces charges of first-degree murder, but he has not yet been formally charged.
On Monday afternoon, the Seattle Mariners traded for veteran first baseman/DH Justin Turner, who has been playing for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Upon learning of the trade, Turner made some comments that should be exciting to M’s fans.
Per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com:
Justin Turner on joining the Mariners:
“They’re in a dogfight. It will be exciting to go out and be a part of it, to help them make a playoff run. I know the Mariners haven’t won the division in quite some time, so I’m hoping I can be a piece that helps them with that.”

Turner is certainly right, as the M’s haven’t won the American League West since the 2001 season. They’ll enter play on Tuesday in a tie with the Houston Astros and will have 54 games left try to break that tie and earn that crown. While Turner has hit only six home runs this year with Toronto, he did hit 23 last season for the Boston Red Sox. His ability to make contact and put the ball in play will be welcomed to an M’s lineup that has struck out more than any team in baseball.
He figures to play first base with Tyler Locklear potentially being sent back to the minor leagues for more seasoning.
This is Turner’s 16th year in the big leagues with the Baltimore Orioles, New York Mets, Dodgers, Boston Red Sox and Blue Jays. He’s a lifetime .286 hitter who has made two All-Star Games. He also won a World Series ring with the 2020 Dodgers and will help the M’s in the veteran leadership department.
He could be in the lineup in time for Tuesday’s game, which is 4:10 p.m. PT.
